Italy-Set Season 4 Of 'Jersey Shore' Gets Premiere Date; Season 5 Is Now A Go

Season Four of MTV’s mega hit Jersey Shore, which is currently filming in Florence, Italy, will premiere Thursday, August 4 in the show’s 10 PM slot. Snooki & Co. won’t get much rest when they return from Europe as the network just gave a formal go-ahead to a fifth season, slated to begin production later this month in the show’s original setting, Seaside Heights. A fifth season has been a lock since the network already had options on the cast as part of the most recent salary renegotiations. Jersey Shore films 2 cycles a year, one in Seaside Heights and one in a warmer locale during the colder months, including Florida last year and Italy this year. Leading to the fourth season premiere, MTV will air a one-hour special about the show’s rise on Thursday, July 28. Jersey Shore ranks as MTV’s No.1 series of all time. The most recent third season averaged a 7.7 rating in persons 12-34.

Can not fault MTV for wanting more of this crap. They are in business of making money. But it is real shame on viewers.

A persons intelligence directly correlates with what they find “entertaining”. Only confirming why the future of our country has no hope at all…

MTV should rename itself ‘Train Wreck Central’, because that is the totality of their programming. I wonder who came up with the idea at a MTV business meeting – “let’s just find a bunch of no-nothings and follow them around 24/7”. There is no class, no imagination and no quality.

But, sadly, there is an audience for their crap.

Just keep throwing these talentless fools at me . . and I’ll keep ducking and weaving and continue to totally ignore them.

Thbis is unbelievable that Moron TV wants to renew this clustercrap of a show. The stupidest form of entertainment to “grace” the airwaves.

Why is it unbelievable that MTV would renew a show that makes them lots and lots of money?!

Dumb and Dumber • on Jun 4, 2011 5:52 pm

Alas, I must disagree with you.

The stupidest form of entertainment to ‘grace’ the airwaves is anything having to do with the Kartrashians.

People forget that entertainment is an escape. Let people watch what they want. If you only watch elitest premium channels then don’t read articles about the Jersey Shore.

ok good for them. One more step to retiring this franchise. MTV obviously knows that this will soon come to an end. Strike while the iron out. I just hope that the people abused, manipulated, and taking advantage of that worked on this show have their unemployment life planned out for a very long time. I’ll be damned if I hire someone that has this garbage on his/ her resume.

YESSS!! I WAS WORRIED SEASON FOUR WAS GONNA BE THE LAST! :)

Much more entertainment than another summer of movie sequels and reboots.

Well that’s the beauty of the TV, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it!

This is far superior comedy to bitchy plastic housewives making up drama. These characters are hilarious, risky and it’s a very fun show.

So click the remote and move on if you haven’t got the sense of humor….

It’s amazing how stupid smart people can be. Jersey shore is the perfect show beacuse it gives people exactly what they want: freedom to escape their lives. What – Friends, Happy Days, Raymond were any better? Really? America is about freedom of choice. Why not elimnate MacDonalds, Gaga and iPods? The food is bad for you at Micky Dees, Gaga is retread hype and iPods don’t sound as good as Vinyl. Why not turn it all back to 1975 and F** toay? Come on already!

I do not agree that a persons intelligence is shown by what they find entertaining, I am studying law at oxford university and I find this extremelly entertaining and so do many of my friends

princesslauren82 • on Jun 10, 2011 12:12 pm

It’s called entertainment for a reason. If you want to watch something insightful and intelligent watch the History channel or CNN. I get enough serious issues in reality, I want my entertainment as mind numbing as possible. And MTV is a great source for people that make me feel amazing about my boring life! I LOVE this show and I hope Snookie crashes into whatever else she wants as long as I can watch the hilarious aftermath. IT’S Thiiiiiirrrrttttt TIME!

People are always bashing the Jersey Shore, obviously these bashers watch the show and read articles on it for them to post negative comments about the show. Its a form of entertainment in which a lot of people enjoy. If you don’t like it don’t watch it and keep your negativity to yourself.

Let the preteens have their fun. If they want to watch this shit, let them. :P
